Slab Apple Pie

This recipe comes as a request from my oldest daughter who loves Apple Pie!  
She loves it best when topped with a crumble topping and a little bit of whipped cream (Coconut Whip for us.....recipe  HERE) on the side.

I decided to make this into a slab/bar style since at the end of a hearty Holiday meal a whole piece of pie can be a bit too much and cutting pie into small pieces can be quite a mess.  This works great since a slab is so much thinner than a pie and you can cut it into any size desired!   This recipe will feed a crowd and is a lot easier than putting two separate pies together.

The crumb topping gives it a delicious extra crunch and flavor and keeps quite well for several days. I used Gala Schoolboy Apples because they are our favorite, but please use whatever is yours.  I hope you get to enjoy this Holiday dessert this season because you can never have enough pie this time of year!
